I guess this was a kind of perverse double feature, but last night I watched "Late Spring" by Yasujirô Ozu and "The Mikado" (the 1938 version) with Martyn Green as Ko-Ko and Sydney Granville as Pooh-Bah.

I don't expect much from romantic comedies, but Think Like A Man was terrific.
I saw it yesterday and laughed my ass off. I also would not be surprised if the response book "Act Like A Gentleman, Think Like A Woman" gets made into a movie with adaptations of more self-help books following.

Just watched Sucker Punch. It was a bit confusing but pretty good.

| Random scroll through netflix, and decided to watch "Let it Ride". Think its only the 2nd movie I've watched about gambling. Its simple but has a good amount of laughs thrown in there, I would recommend it. |

-Red Dragon (2002)
WAY better than Hannibal, but not as good as Silence. While I haven't seen the original version of this film (1988's Manhunter), I liked the story and the performances in this version just fine. Edward Norton was just there, but he's a good actor so it was a fine role. Ralph Fienes always makes for a great villain. And what hasn't been said about Hopkins' Lecter. That might be why I'm hesitant to watch Manhunter, I just can't picture anyone else playing that character. |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) - My favorite movie since the year it came out. Alice and the Mad Hatter will always have a special place in my heart. I'm really glad I decided to take time out of my evening to sit down and watch it again.  |

Just watched The Hills Have Eyes 2: It was crappy but entertaining enough.

The Day The World Ended.
This 1950's Roger Corman produced sci/fi schlock must be avoided at all costs - - unless you want to get a great laugh from lousy dialogue, tedious story, poor writing and direction in general, and awful special effects.
Like my wife and I did.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) - My second favorite movie; it would easily be my #1 if Alice in Wonderland (2010) didn't already have that honor. Johnny Depp's take on Willy Wonka never fails to make me smile. I just love his androgynous appearance and something about his personality makes him very appealing to me. Probably the fact that he's very cheerful throughout the whole movie - as someone who typically has a negative attitude, I find positive characters to be uplifting.
Interestingly (though semi off-topic), Willy Wonka appears in my dreams at night on a frequent basis. I have only had a handful of dreams about my other favorite Tim Burton movie characters, but the dreams I've had about Willy Wonka number in the dozens. It boggles the mind. |

Just watched Thor. Pretty fun. Reminded me a little bit of Masters of the Universe, which I love due partly to it's crappiness.
Thor wasn't badly made like Masters of the Universe though, just had the similar fantasy elements and 'over the top'-ness.
After initially thinking I wouldn't like Captain America and Thor, but thinking "what the heck I'll watch 'em anyway" and finding out they're actually alright, I may consider seeing that new Avengers film pretty soon - and even if it does turn out to be a bit naff, it's still got Iron Man in it!  Can't be all bad then.
